Lo-Fi Games

Maybe I missed it, only recently started playing again, but is there a way to turn off the garru's backpack lantern, other than unequipping the backpack (which is a pain)?

It seems like there were visibility changes where light has a fairly big impact. e.g. skimmer not seeing you 10m away in the dark, but with lantern they beeline for you from 30m (or so).

Even stealth stance does not turn it off, i feel like it ought to.

Unequipping the belt one is simple enough. Though I do believe characters ought to be smart enough to turn off their lantern when entering stealth.

no you can't turn off the lantern only unequip

It's no biggie for the belt ones.

But for Garru it's definitely a drawback. IMO it should turn off automagically if in sneak mode. And just for Garru in hold mode too, because lanterns are beneficial for xbow users even if on hold.

The light based view range changes are quite potent.
